Instructions

Start by gathering all your ingredients and setting your cooking area. Chop the onion, mince the garlic, and dice the avocado so everything is ready to go. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add in the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until tender and translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. After the beef is browned and cooked through, stir in the taco seasoning along with a splash of water to help distribute the flavors evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined.
Now it’s time to assemble your taco salad bowls! Start with a generous base of chopped romaine lettuce in each bowl, then layer the seasoned ground beef, black beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and shredded cheese. Finish with a dollop of salsa and sour cream on top. Arrange garnishes artistically for a colorful presentation that you’ll be proud to share!

Notes

Feel free to customize your taco salad with additional ingredients like jalapeños, bell peppers, or quinoa. For a vegan option, use lentils or plant-based crumbles instead of ground beef.
